Shut Up Dragon! I Don't Want To Have Children With You Anymore

"...",Leon was speechless,"Don't you know whether I have experience or not?"

The first time, this guy directly passed out and went AFK. By the time he woke up, the baby was already running around calling him 'Daddy.'

'And you're asking me if I have experience?'

Rossweise grinned smugly, "So that means you don't. No problem, luckily I do."

"Haha, so funny.",Leon forced a smile, his mouth twitching in sarcasm.

Clearly, both of them were each other's 'first love,' yet one had experience with pregnancy while the other didn't—

And this kind of situation usually only happens when one party is in their second marriage while the other is in their first.

It can only be said that Leon had perfectly integrated the abstract nature of his life into his married life with Rossweise.

With the body of a mere mortal, he dragged a dragon into the depths— Mr. Leon Casmodeous was the first in history to ever do so.

"Since I have experience and you don't, I think it's necessary to explain the precautions during pregnancy to you.",Rossweise said seriously.

Leon shrugged,"I'm all ears."

"I don't know how you humans experience pregnancy, but for dragons, pregnancy often comes with symptoms like loss of appetite, drowsiness, and mood swings. So, can you tolerate me randomly losing my temper at you?"

"Nope. If you throw a tantrum at me, I'll blow up your Silver Dragon Sanctuary.",Leon said it like he meant it.

"I don't believe you.",Rossweise pursed her lips and smiled lightly. She could tell Leon was just being stubborn.

"If you don't believe me, why ask?",Leon sighed, closing his eyes in resignation. One hand on his chest, the other rubbing his temple.

"Tsk, but considering how you always like to go against me for no reason, I still think it's necessary to remind you—During pregnancy, the mother-to-be is the highest authority, OK?"

Leon squinted at Rossweise, examining her.

She smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes blinking as she gazed at him.

Leon knew exactly what she was planning. Beneath that radiant smile lay her scheming mind.

Of course, she also knew that Leon had figured out her plan—

Yet she dared to flaunt her intentions right in front of his face.

The reason Rossweise had such confidence was simple.

The Queen is pregnant.

As she said, during pregnancy, the mother-to-be holds the highest authority.

This applies to humans as well.

But the so-called 'mother-to-be holds the highest authority' is based on the premise of a normal household.

Now, look at this ridiculous couple. Does their household seem normal?

It's not normal. It's very abnormal.

Leon had more or less foreseen how this mother dragon would use the excuse of "I'm pregnant" to torment him in the days to come.

But there was nothing he could do. After all, the fact that Rossweise had unexpectedly conceived a second child wasn't entirely her "achievement" alone.

This situation wasn't the same as their previous battles with tactics like the "Bunny Girl Threat," "Blackmailing with Past Embarrassments," or "Enemy Advances, I Retreat; Enemy Tires, I Strike."

This time, Leon didn't have many options— He could only take it one step at a time and adapt as things unfolded.

"OK, the mother-to-be is the boss. You call the shots.",Leon said.

Rossweise smiled in satisfaction,"Good, very self-aware."

She lowered her head, looking at her still-flat stomach, recalling the first time she confirmed her pregnancy.

Her emotions had been incredibly complicated.

Fear, anxiety, resentment, and anger.

Now, as she reflected on her current feelings, though there was still some regret, there was more joy and comfort in the anticipation of welcoming a new life.

After a brief silence, the queen murmured softly,"I wonder who this little one will take after they're born."

Leon had sharp ears and immediately chimed in,"Of course, they'll take after me more."

Bickering with Rossweise seemed to have become his muscle memory.

Of course, the same went for Rossweise.

She was momentarily startled, then glanced at him sideways,"Dragonslayer, where does your confidence come from?"

"Noah and Luna gave me this confidence.",Leon stated with justification.

Rossweise snorted coldly,"What confidence did those two daughters give you? They clearly take after me more."

Leon spread his hands and began presenting evidence,"I saw your childhood photos at your sister's place. They look more like me than you."

Rossweise raised an eyebrow, her thoughts shifting slightly before calmly replying,"But they have tails."

"Noah's primary elemental affinity is the same as mine—lightning."

Rossweise unhurriedly repeated,"You're right, but they have tails."

"...Their hair color is mainly black, which resembles mine. That's undeniable, right?"

"Mm-hmm, but they have tails."

Leon was on the verge of breaking down,"Can we stop talking about tails?"

The queen shook her head with a smile,"No."

Tails were the most distinct difference between humans and dragons.

As long as Rossweise held onto this point, no matter what evidence Leon presented, he couldn't overcome the mountain of "tails."

The dragonslayer, fuming with frustration, suddenly stood up, pointed at Rossweise's stomach, and declared firmly,

"Baby, when you're born, you are NOT allowed to have a tail, got it?"

———

For now, the news of Rossweise's pregnancy hadn't been shared with Anna and the others.

After all, based on the timing, she had only been pregnant for less than two months.

If dragons chose to reproduce via live birth, then their pregnancy duration would be the same as humans—around ten months.

With a ten-month gestation and visible signs appearing around the fourth month, Rossweise planned to wait a bit before informing her close confidants.

Announcing it too early might distract them from attending to His Majesty, which could interfere with the normal operations of the Silver Dragon Sanctuary.

Everyone knew that the Silver Dragon Queen was a workaholic, and not even pregnancy could change that.

Besides, during the early stages of pregnancy, maintaining a normal work intensity wouldn't affect the fetus.

However, the couple planned to tell their two daughters once Noah came home for vacation in a few days—they would soon have a new little sister or brother.

Even though the two sisters were still children, they had the right to know that a new family member was on the way.

———

A few nights later, deep in the night, Leon lay on the bed in the nursery, hands behind his head, staring straight at the ceiling.

On his bedside table lay three books:

Precautions During Pregnancy

What Nutrients Do Dragons Need During Pregnancy?

Prenatal Education Techniques: Don't Let Your Baby Dragon Lose at the Starting Line

After reading the first two books, Leon had indeed picked up some useful tips on taking care of a pregnant woman.

But those were matters for the middle stages of pregnancy, and since Rossweise was not even two months along, it was still too early to put them into practice.

As for the last book, that one actually had some actionable advice Leon could start on immediately.

A few days ago, after confirming Rossweise's pregnancy, the couple had debated on who Noah and Luna looked more like.

Rather than arguing about whether they resembled their father or mother, it was more about whether they looked more like humans or dragons.

After all, both of them had strong racial pride.

After a back-and-forth debate, Rossweise shut down Leon's argument with a single statement,"They both have tails."

And indeed, that was the truth.

The two little dragon girls were just over a year old. Even the relatively mature Noah still didn't have a fully developed mind, so from a psychological perspective, it was impossible to determine whether they leaned more toward humans or dragons.

Thus, their appearances were the only things to go by.

And in that debate—Leon suffered a crushing defeat.

As Leon was about to leave that night, Rossweise twisted the knife even further,"They'll grow dragon horns when they reach adulthood. Look forward to it."

Leon: 'Look forward to what, a minotaur? =_='

Despite his humiliating defeat, Leon refused to give up.

Even though their daughters displayed more dragon traits than human ones, Noah's elemental affinity was the same as his—proof that human genes still had a fighting chance against dragon genes.

Moreover, during the first pregnancy, Leon had been unconscious and hadn't participated at all.

So, if the entire pregnancy followed dragon traditions, it wasn't surprising that the baby leaned more toward dragon traits.

But now, Leon was awake.

He had to fight for his future standing in the family.

On a small scale, this was a father seeking a sense of belonging in his own home.

On a grander scale, this was the ultimate battle to prove that human genes were stronger and superior to dragon genes!

As the saying goes—one small step for Leon, one giant leap for humanity.

If he didn't step up, who would?

The more Leon thought about it, the more excited he became—he even felt like the entire fate of humankind rested on his shoulders.

In the first round, both daughters turned out more dragon-like, and he narrowly missed the championship title.

Now, in the second round, he was ready. He would seize victory this time.

Success or martyrdom—there was no middle ground.

Leon sat up and glanced at the wall clock. It was past three in the morning. That mother dragon should be fast asleep by now.

He was a man of action, and since he had already decided to give it his all in this "Third Baby Season," there was no time to waste—he had to start now.

Leon hadn't been idle these past few days. He had already drafted a preliminary plan: How to Make the Third Baby More Human—shortened to the Third Baby Plan.

The first step of this plan—prenatal education.

If Rossweise's baby absorbed more human cultural essence during pregnancy, maybe the child would lean more toward human traits after birth.

With that in mind, Leon got up, rummaged through the room for the necessary tools for prenatal education, and prepared to sneak into Rossweise's room.

But just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

"Mother dragons always lock their doors when they sleep. I should just climb over the balcony."

His and Rossweise's rooms were next to each other, so he could directly climb over to her balcony.

In the dead of night, under the moonlit sky, Leon Casmodeous—now a father—chose to sneak into his wife's room by climbing over the balcony, all for the sake of ensuring his second child resembled him more.

His determination was truly admirable.

The night sky was clear, a perfect time for stealth operations.

Leon effortlessly climbed onto Rossweise's balcony, silently opened the glass door, and slipped into the mother dragon's bedroom.

On the soft, spacious bed, the queen lay with her delicate body stretched out, her slender, fair arm resting on the blanket's edge. Her head tilted slightly to the side, silver hair cascading down her cheek, the small braid at her temple slightly undone.

Her breathing was steady, and her sleeping face looked peaceful and beautiful.

Leon quietly sat down at the edge of the bed.

However, he didn't rush into his Third Baby Plan. First, he needed to test whether Rossweise had entered deep sleep.

"Hey, Rossweise, wake up. It's urgent." Leon whispered.

No response.

"Good, pregnant women seem to sleep well."

Muttering to himself, Leon pulled out the small tool he had prepared earlier from his pocket—

A Memory Crystal.

This thing wasn't particularly rare; he had casually found a shop selling them while strolling through the Silver Dragon Tribe's settlement yesterday.
